Hollyford Museum trustees
have moved to publicly distance
themselves from suggestions that
a workers’ camp would be based
at Gunn’s Camp in the Hollyford
Valley should the proposed
Routeburn-Hollyford tunnel go
ahead.
The Hollyford Museum Trust
operates the historic Gunn’s Camp
and the Hollyford Museum 2km
from the Hollyford Valley end of
the proposed tunnel. Its board
members were furious to learn
that the backers of the tunnel
proposal had assumed they have
its support.
Chairman Ron Peacock said the
trust absolutely opposed the
tunnel and its applicants had
shown “arrogance beyond belief”
in assuming tunnel workers would
be based at Gunn’s Camp.
“If this proposal goes ahead,
Gunn’s Camp would be finished
and with it the experience and
the heritage preserved since the
1930s,” he said.
The trust was disappointed the
applicant company had relied
on discussions it had a number
of years ago relating to workers
accommodation.
“The application makes scant
reference to an expectation
that tunnel workers will be
accommodated at Gunn’s Camp.
No such agreement, approval or
otherwise has been given by the
trust,” Mr Peacock said.
“It is also very concerning that the
Department of Conservation has
seen fit to process the application
and write a 180 page report,
without seeking comment or even
approaching the trust which,
because of the location of Gunn’s
Camp, will be one of the most
affected parties. Is it (the tunnel) a
fait accompli?” Mr Peacock asked.
“The department has said the
application is only for the tunnel,
the portal at each end and the
spoil dump where the Hollyford
Airstrip is located. But how can
they undertake that 24/7 work if
they don’t have accommodation
for their workers close by? Isn’t
accommodation integral to the
ability of the applicant to do the
work?”
The proposal to accommodate
workers at Gunn’s Camp would
mean Gunn’s Camp would no
longer exist, Mr Peacock said.
Being offered a brand new camp,
including new sewage treatment
system and electricity supply
might be attractive to someone in
Te Anau, or Queenstown, but not
in the Hollyford, he said. Gunn’s
Camp was unique and a part of
the area’s heritage.
The trust has formally opposed the
application and Mr Peacock spoke
to that submission at the hearings
last month, making the trust’s
position absolutely clear: “Gunn’s
Camp is not for sale!”

Two rural Southland primary
schools were last week presented
with awards for their involvement
in the Heart Foundation’s Heart
Start: Toitoi Manawa education
programme.
Heddon Bush School introduced
a morning fruit break which
has been highly successful,
finding that children are able
to concentrate far better in the
mornings because of this. They
were also taught a “Keep me fit”
unit where they learnt about food
groups, planned healthy menus
and kept food and exercise diaries,
recording healthier changes to
their lifestyle.
Lochiel School took part in the
free, Foodstuff’s Food for Thought
nutrition education programme,
which provides schools with
a classroom nutrition lesson,
supermarket tour and lunch for
Years 5 and 6. This allows schools
to achieve four out of the five
modules required to gain their
Heart Start Award. The information
gathered from this was shared
with the rest of the school. Since
then they have also implemented
a fitness programme run by the
year 6’s which takes place four
days a week.
Schools rewarded for pupils’ adoption of healthier lifestyles
